Hello all. I ordered a CZ 85 combat back in December and I still don't have it. I ordered it through a FFL dealer friend of mine and the "ship date" just keeps getting pushed back. Has anybody else experienced this with a CZ lately? I am wondering if I should cancel the order and go for something else.

They're not the easiest guns to come across sadly. CZ doesn't produce the same volume as some of the other manufacturers. As they gain notice and popularity, it'll be harder to find exactly what you want. I would hold out for one but keep your optional open on where you are willing to get one from if you want one sooner rather than later.

thanks for all the help....I think I am going to wait. I did alot of research when I bought this 9mm and I don't want anything else. Being a CO resident however I am racing the clock on the whole hi-cap mag BS.

My dealer has a very close relationship with CZ USA. We are all here in KC. Despite their relationship, he said CZs are impossible to get. Usually, they have shelves full of CZs with more in inventory. When I was in there Wednesday, there was not a single CZ in the house.

CZ-USA ships their mags out pretty quickly, having ordered multiple from them- normally in my hand within a week. I was looking yesterday, and they have mags in stock. Get the factory good stuff before going aftermarket, since the price difference normally isn't that noticeable.

I wonder if European dealers and distrubitors get more prpmpt treatment than U. S. dealers get? I have several CZ airguns and can assure you that this segment of CZ is also affected by CZ's spotty reputation for service and sales. It's a company-wide disease,
Too bad because nearly every CZ I have shot has been excellent! Firing behavior and function have been waay above the norm for it's class of gun.

CZ_USA told me a few days ago that the warehouse is practically empty, that guns are being flown in, (no more slow boat, takes to long), and they are sold before they get off the plane! CZUB has many places to supply other than just the US, including the brand new CZ-Brasil, so they pretty much have to allocate resources where they can.
On the other hand, rumor has the P-09 coming in soon...we hope.

I have shot some and they are awesome, that is why I am waiting...I did go ahead and order 2 hi-cap magazines just in case it doesn't show up before July. I am in no hurry as long as it gets here eventually! I am thinking about getting the Kadet kit for it also. Anybody have experience with it? I hear its pretty good.
